they were made by our eastern europen new friends. croatia, bulgaria,poland, ukraine.

You ought to shut the fuck up about that whole invasion and occupation bullshit, troll.

Theyre legally allowed to station 15000 troops in the crimea, something western media has chosen to overlook..

How would you know if it saw you? Shoot at it and see if it shoots back?

Yeah, there are airspace violations worth sending an angry letter over and airspace violations worth shooting over. Even if the Turkish version of events is correct, there was no good reason to shoot down the Russian jet.

Wrong. If it weren’t for the pointless Iraq war then there would be no need to “stabilize” Iraq in the first place. The vacuum left by destroying Iraq and it’s infrastructure is what allowed ISIS to form in the first place, by allowing former Saddam military people to mix with terrorists. Leaving Iraq alone would have…

Oh, hey! Finally, a chance for the US and Russia to stop waving their dicks around and actually start doing some good for mankind by protecting innocent people in the Middle East (in this instance, by bombing the living hell out of ISIS).

Actually, this whole mess started with the destabilization of Iraq. You know who you can thank for that. This mess will go well beyond Syria, too, and we will be paying for that mistake for decades to come.

I have a hard time figuring out why Russia would want to remove Assad. He has been a loyal ally to Russia pretty much since the beginning. The only reason they sell him out is to buy points with the US.

Finally someone with an ounce of brain.

USA is trying to get rid of Assad by any means possible, even using false excuses, just like it did with Saddam a decade ago in Iraq. The White House is now worried because somebody with a pair of balls is actually opposing their lunatic idea this time. I can’t believe the USA is so hypocritical that even after its…

Kerry is a super hypocrite, like the rest of American politicians on the Syrian war issue. Just read what he said:

Crimea had a lot more meaning to Russians than just a naval base. What does it cost to Russia to build a new base elsewhere on the black sea? Peanuts. The issue is that for Russians, Crimea always meant a crowning achievement of the Russian empire. When Constantinople fell to Turks in 15th centure, the religious…

And Russia also has the home team advantage in that many people their see them as allies. A stray Russian bomb hitting civilians is probably going to be easier to smooth over than a stray American bomb, since we are the traditional boogeymen of that part of the world.

We have and still do support regimes far worse than Assad. We just can’t admit that demanding his ouster was a huge mistake.

The Wests response has been air strikes. Russia brings aircraft to the table and all of sudden aircraft aren’t of any use.Sorry but that logic is laughable.

U.S. wants to get rid of Assad, U.S. wants to get rid of ISIS. Wait a sec. You can’t just get rid of everyone who is going to take control than? The truth is U.S. actually created ISIS to kick off Assad. Ask the refuges what are they running from. They are running from airstrikes and ISIS. If U.S. really wanted to…

Well, the F-22 got to enjoy some “warheads on foreheads” action this last year in Syria, so why not Russia?

First I was like “What the hell ? This doesn’t make any sense ! ” Then I read

Why is the US more concerned about Russia than Isis? Why is Kerry more concerned about removing Asad than Isis? The US needs to get the hell out.
